The official version is still pending. |

My unofficial version (which as far as I can tell is about as good as |
| 18 |
it is going to get, but consider it draft) is at: |

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo-gitmig-20150809-draft |

(The official version will no doubt be hosted on pure-FOSS infra.) |

You can graft them using git replace --graft I believe, though I |
| 24 |
haven't actually tried this. In theory you can do this as many times |
| 25 |
as you wish as improved historical migrations come along, and as long |
| 26 |
as you get rid of all the refs to the old heads git will eventually |
| 27 |
garbage-collect the junk. |

There are 2M commits, and probably about 10x as many objects. A |
| 30 |
bundle is 1.7G (and is compressed), so expect a clone to take a while. |
| 31 |
I have to say that github has gotten better at handling it - my first |
| 32 |
pushes of migrations a year ago would die with an error and then the |
| 33 |
repo would just show up in github a few hours later. Now the pushes |
| 34 |
succeed and the repo shows up fairly quickly after they are finished. |
